A few weeks ago our neighbors were out on a beautiful day and built a snowman. Actually I think it was a snowwoman. By the time they were finished, it resembled more of a woman. She melted quickly with the warm days to follow.

| I'd say this was definitely a snowwoman |
 |
| Snow lady became a blob in a few days |
As the ice becomes thinner, it also becomes darker. Just before it disappears, it is a dark dark grey, almost black color.

| Same view on Saturday, March 19, 2011 : snow is gone and ice is getting darker |
 |
| Looking towards the east at the dark ice. A little bit of water is at the edge near the rocks. |
 |
| View from our patio on the lake. Can't wait to sit by the water again! |
My guess is the ice will melt by March 27th.
A tribute to one of my favorite scenes from one of my favorite movies -- the ol' Wicked Witch of the West as she melts away...

| I'm melting, melting! Oh, what a world, what a world... |
Thanks for visiting!

Hi Carolyn, Thanks for your comment on my post today. That's pretty neat that you've been to Fredericton! It is a beautiful city and UNB is a very well known school around the world for it's engineering program and the UNB Varsity Reds sports teams :-). My grandfather, father, brother, sister, husband and daughter all went there! I like your progression of photos of the lake ice melting. I have been watching the Mactaquac Headpond (lake) above the dam as it slowly melts but there is a way to go yet. Your view of the lake is great and I imagine you enjoy many wonderful hours on you patio. Soon! :-) Blessings, Pamela
We were melting like that around here too - - - but today we're regressing with snow, sleet, rain, lightning, and lots and lots of low rumbling thunder.
My ground which WAS getting bare is white again.
What a beautiful view you have! I really enjoyed your lake pictures. Must be fun to live that close to the water and watch the birds, and people!
We are getting cold again. :(

Beautiful view from your patio. I hope spring come to you very soon!

Hi Carolyn...
My friend, you have a beautiful place there at the lake. It is right in your backyard! Beautiful!!! I lived on Lake Corpus Christi for about 30 yrs. in south Texas but not even once...did it look like the water might freeze! Hehe! I have never experienced lake life in the winter. It's hard to imagine that it could actually freeze so hard that vehicles drive on it...eeeks! I sooo enjoyed your lovely photos and yep...I would definitely say that the snowman was a snowwoman! Hehe! Too cute!
Thank you so much for dropping by and taking a peek at my new treasure finds! I really enjoyed your visit and sweet note, my friend!
Warmest spring wishes,

Hello Carolyn, nice to meet you.
Just become a follower of your blog.
Interesting the lake post. The only time I have seen a lake like that is in Mass. (not going to even try and spell it!)
I will answer your blog questions via. E-mail.
I'm just not sure I would ever be brave enough to drive a vehicle on the ice, no matter how thick! I'm sure you will be glad to have that beautiful water back.
